• For the second consecutive session, the pair struggled to build on its intraday positive momentum and started retreating from 100-hour SMA hurdle near the 1.2670-75 region.

• Technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have been recovering from the bearish territory but are still far from supporting prospects for any further near-term positive move.
